The Canadian government is introducing a streamlined regulatory framework to limit approval timelines for major resource projects, including pipelines and energy developments, to two years.

Parallel negotiations between Ottawa and Alberta are focusing on industrial carbon pricing and the Clean Electricity Regulations. Key points of contention include a proposed carbon price cap for Alberta and the current gap between market credit prices and federal headline rates.
